During the year and a half of experimentation that included the big visible charts that are included in this slide deck, I read over the following resources, only some of which would easily fit into the IEEE format. This is the full bibliography of my research, as far as I have been able to track down my sources. (At the time, I wasn’t expecting to cite them for anyone else, so I probably didn’t bookmark everything I read.) I hope the following links will prove helpful to you in developing your own big visible charts. Let me know how it goes! And please share any sources that you find helpful. I’m always looking for new inspiration.

My first dev team was an XP dev team that dogfooded our own digital signage product to display success/failure for the thousands of unit tests in the suite (i.e. single flag for whole suite red/green).

New inspiration

Although the above resources were all I knew at the time I began my experiments, as I prepared my IEEE paper for the Agile2013 conference proceedings, I was tracking down my sources and came across these other relevant pages & posts that have given me some great ideas of things to try next!

After some discussion in my session about suggesting solutions for distributed teams, I was looking for some digital implementations of big visible charts, but I don’t know how these would work out for you.

Learned

Having pricing/rental agreements in writing is essential – but at least one of us was overcharged and our deposit wasn’t fully refunded

Foodie friends should always pick the restaurant

Crafting doesn’t come as naturally to everyone – but collaborative art is more fun!

Twilight is hilarious when read aloud with expression and voice acting

About 1 in 10 photographs come out the way I’d expect

Vintage gold lamé will cover you in glitter

I can disassemble a grill to light it when the starter is broken – but I didn’t expect a fireball when I opened the lid!

Lacked

Roadside attractions

Strange food venues

Pest control (huge roaches landing in my hair? unacceptable!)

Respect from the rental agent who told me I was a b*tch on the phone (keepin’ it classy!)

Support from the rental agent to operate the hot tub that we were forbidden to adjust when it was tepid

Longed For

Working internet connection (seriously, who cuts a bunch of geek girls off?)

Privacy: long term renter walked his dog through our space each day

Functional bathrooms: inconsistent water pressure, toilets constantly running or clogged and leaking, shower door jammed, scalding hot water hurt a couple of us, and what’s with the toilet installed in the linen closet?!?

Stable floors: I fell through the deck once and nearly fell through another part of the deck a second time, squishy kitchen floor

So how did our product turn out? Our execution wasn’t flawless, but we have very fond memories of creativity, conversation, and survival. Nothing like a few disasters to remind us how fortunate we are.
